What will Burnham’s government mean for environmental policy?

Join Green Alliance for a first look at Andy Burnham’s cabinet and what this new political landscape means for climate and nature policy.

Corplex joined Green Alliance’s Circular Economy Task Force in 2021 because it is giving voice to the most effective ways to make the circular economy a reality, through its research, membership and connection to policy makers.

Green Alliance has deservedly become a powerful voice in debates about sustainability.

Lord Giddens, emeritus professor, London School of Economics

Green Alliance’s ability to bring together powerful coalitions and deliver greater political influence has been crucial in getting more action on nature, emphasising its role in economic recovery and securing stronger protections in law.

Beccy Speight, CEO, RSPB

The UK has committed to achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050 in order to tackle the climate crisis. It’s essential that there is strong political leadership to ensure the policy is put in place to achieve this target and that’s why Green Alliance’s Climate Leadership Programme for MPs is so important. Green Alliance has played a crucial part in providing new MPs with an informative set of briefings about climate change and in helping to build cross-party support behind positive action.

Chris Stark, former chief executive, the Committee on Climate Change

Colleagues across the House have said the Climate and Nature Leadership Programme is one of the most positive things they’ve done since starting in parliament.

Triodos Bank is proud to be part of Green Alliance’s Business Circle. It provides a unique space for us to join important conversations across sectors about the economic development and change needed to secure a greener future.

Bevis Watts, CEO, Triodos Bank

We welcome Green Alliance’s policy insight on circular economy and look forward to utilising their research in preparation for our next Environmental Improvement Programme progress report.

If Green Alliance did not exist, we would have to invent it.

Mary Creagh CBE MP, minister for nature

The challenge of mixing ecologically sound land use with food production continues both to trouble and elude governments. This report is a welcome reminder of how UK environmental champions recognise the real advantages from getting the practicalities sorted out. Everyone – farmers, industry, the public, health services – would benefit if policy makers rose to the challenge.
